Analysis 1 Ancient Texts 3 pages

1. Reflect on the ancient texts and we have covered this week. What food themes and conflicts do these works bring to our attention? Classify the themes and conflicts so that they reflect which are still with us and which seem to have lost their significance? Explain your choices.

2. Reflect on the documentary The Cutting Edge. Briefly identify three points the documentary makes that you found particularly interesting or illuminating. Why did these points stand out to you?

A well-developed journal will be between 2 to 4 pages in length and engage critically in the ideas and concepts presented.

I will upload documents you might need down blow.

Poem from The Chinese Book of Songs

This poem is from the Chinese Book of Songs c 600 BCE and it is sometimes attributed to Confucious:

ripe plums are falling
now there are only five
may a fine lover come for me
while there is still time

ripe plums are falling
now there are only three
may a fine lover come for me
while there is still time

ripe plums are falling
i gather them in a shallow basket
may a fine lover come for me
tell me his name

Chinese Book of Songs
Quoted in “Crossing Delancey”
